Looks like the file was corrupted during transfer - the server file is OK.

This was observed in case of high server load.

Retrying should help.

@Mad Tommy,I had the same issue. I suggest to rightclick the DCS Wold shortcut and in the target line behind the quotes write update...should look like this then.

 

....DCS World\bin\DCS_updater.exe" update

 

This will force the updater to check and verify the existing files every time you run the exe. In your actual case this will make sure that the update process will continue at this position where it stoped before..

 

Credits for this suggestion goes to =STP= Teumel, who told me before.

Thanks Memphis.. i tried this morning and it worked using the default link from start menu.

 

I assume it was as c0ff said.. server load.

So much for auto update. I took at least twenty attempts but that did the trick for me, and much, much appreciation to you and =STP= Teumel. Now I can go and get excited about the Huey...?

ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P

Every time i've updated I've had an error. I do eventually get them to complete, but never 1st time.

 

I've tried the latest update about 5 times.

 

Just tried again..

Now, I'm running mod-man; it's going to show repair available right?

It would be nice to see the autoupdate.log from a failed attempt.

c0ff.. another thing maybe for you attention... from thread.. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=1575368#post1575368

 

After an Autoupdate, just copy the files from the _backup.00* folder (inside the World folder) back to the main World folder and you have all your mods back.

This is how it works for me with my mods (NVG, new UFC Panel,...)

 

Unfortunately things are not quite so simple.

 

The latest update moved the WaterEffects.zip file to my _backup folder. This is not a file that I modified.

 

\DCS World\_backup.000\Bazar\Effects\WaterEffects.zip

 

This means you cannot simply copy the folder back across with confidence. For people who use other peoples mods this could cause issues as they may not know what files make up the mods they install.

 

This might be a one off... but i certainly won't be copying the contents of the backup folder without having to thoroughly check each time.

 

I've attached the successful update log that should show the WaterEffects.zip being moved, and maybe why.

I'll take a look what's up with mirror selection and error reporting.

Backed up files were:

Bazar/Effects/WaterEffects.zip
Scripts/Aircrafts/_Common/Cockpit/ViewportHandling.lua
Config/graphics.cfg
Config/terrain/High.lua
Mods/aircrafts/A-10C/Cockpit/Scripts/CDU/indicator/CDU_init.lua
Mods/aircrafts/Ka-50/Cockpit/Scripts/PVI/PVI_init.lua
Mods/aircrafts/P-51D/Missions/EN/QuickStart/P-51D Intercept.miz

Which ones you didn't touch at all?

 

EDIT: WaterEffects.zip was not changed in that update. It was repaired, because for some reason updater decided it was changed locally.

Can I have that file from backup?

All the rest i modified. But I have no mods or tweaks associated with Bazar/Effects/WaterEffects.zip

 

Hope it helps.

Can I have a backed up version of it?

 

Sure... managed to recover it from recycle bin, lucky, normally i shift delete!

 

This is the file that was moved to _backup.000 folder.

 

Cheers

Great.

Indeed it was changed. Your version is 3985245 bytes long and the original one is 3741686.

None of our releases ever contained that version of the file.

Inside the ZIP, yours contains two identical copies of foam.jpg.

 

Have you ever opened that file/looked inside with Windows Explorer?

Thanks c0ff, weird.

 

I compared the backup version supplied & the new version in a program called UltraCompare after i noticed it had been backed up. After comparing it it did re-save it, possibly giving it a new modified date.

 

But I have not applied any mods or tweaks for these water effects. No idea why there would be two foam.jpg in there.

 

I have a list of files i apply after backup:

CDU_init.lua

graphics.cfg

High.lua

PVI_init.lua

ViewportHandling.lua

 

I can't explain it. Thanks for you time.

The incorrect reporting of server overload, which manifested in "inflate" and "hash mismatch" errors, was found and fixed. Hopefully for real this time. The fix will get into one of the updates.

Happens to me too. I'm trying to update tonight incidentally ... so does this mean that I need to get past the first update before I have an auto-updater that works?

"A true 'sandbox flight sim' requires hi-fidelity flyable non-combat utility/support aircraft."
